  • Clever strategies for encouraging customer loyalty

    Clever strategies for encouraging customer loyalty

    Many business owners spend the vast majority of their marketing budgets on finding new customers, and it’s easy to see why. More clients mean a broader customer base and bigger business. But, while expanding your base is vital, you should never take your eyes off the ball when it comes to retaining and engaging your current customers.

Here are some ideas on how you can go about retaining good clients and encouraging better levels of customer loyalty. (more…)
